(c) Section W. of Schedule 1 to the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

W. Title Insurance. Each Mortgage Loan is covered by an ALTA lender’s title insurance policy, or with respect to any Mortgage Loan for which the related Mortgaged Property is located in California, a CLTA lender’s title insurance policy, or other generally acceptable form of policy of insurance, issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged Property is located, insuring Seller, its successors and assigns: (a) as to the first priority Lien of the Mortgage; and (b) against any loss by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the Lien resulting from the provisions of the Mortgage providing for adjustment in the Mortgage Interest Rate and Monthly Payment with respect to each Adjustable Rate Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses (a), (b), and (c) of Section T of this Schedule 1. Where required by state Requirements of Law applicable to Seller, the Mortgagor has been given the opportunity to choose the carrier of the required mortgage title insurance. Additionally, such lender’s title insurance policy affirmatively insures ingress and egress, and against encroachments by or upon the Mortgaged Property or any interest therein. Seller, and its successors and assigns, are the sole insured of such lender’s title insurance policy, and such lender’s title insurance policy is valid and in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under such lender’s title insurance policy, and no prior holder of the Mortgage, including Seller, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such lender’s title insurance policy. With respect to each manufactured home, a search for filings of financing statements has been made by a company competent to do same and such search has not found anything that would materially and adversely affect the related Manufactured Housing Mortgage Loan including, but not limited to, the priority of the Lien or perfection of the Manufactured Housing Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 2. Defined Terms. Any terms capitalized but not otherwise defined herein should have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement.

SECTION 3. Limited Effect. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Reference to this First Amendment need not be made in the Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to, or with respect to, the Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby.

SECTION 4. Representations. In order to induce Buyer to execute and deliver this First Amendment, Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that as of the date hereof, except as otherwise expressly waived by Buyer in writing, Seller is in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Facility Documents, including without limitation all of the representations and warranties and all of the affirmative and negative covenants, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Agreement.

SECTION 5. Governing Law. This First Amendment and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection with this First Amendment, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law, which shall govern.

SECTION 6. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. This First Amendment, to the extent signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No signatory to this First Amendment shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such Person forever waives any such defense.
